Fudgsicles

I know that I was supposed to write a practical post about
making bulk and produce bags, but we happen to be at the beach with our friends, and I thought I’d do something a little more fun
since I’m on vacation. The kids didn't argue.

When I was a kid we had a Tupperware popsicle mold set that
got put through the wringer every summer, alternating between juice pops and
pudding pops. Those sticks are chewed to
pieces from so much love! I don’t have a
well loved popsicle mold because I have my eye on a stainless set I’ve been
saving my swagbucks up for. In the
meantime, I just went to CVS here at Ocean Isle, NC and bought a great little
set for $2!

Mix the milk and pudding mix with a whisk for 2
minutes. Spoon into the molds and stick
it in the freezer for a few hours till frozen. To release them from the molds, run it under warm water. It takes longer than you'd expect to get it out. Be patient!

A project so easy I could do it with a baby in my arms the whole time!

In case you forgot what pudding looks like...

If you want, you can mix it up and layer in some vanilla
pudding. It looks cool, but it won’t be
a fudgsicle, exactly. These are as good as I remember from childhood, and they took all of 5 minutes of hands-on time.

Remember to leave a little bit of space at the top so it doesn't squish out the sides!

Try It

$1.72 for 8
popsicles, $3.72 including the mold,
$.22 per pop without the mold, $.47 with it.

The calorie count is higher, but they are so much
better! I was glad the mold made small
popsicles, perfect for little hands. I
will Try It now that I have at least
an interim mold. Happy summer, everybody, enjoy some frozen treats! Next I think I'll try leftover smoothie pops...

love it! but also, i have recently been enjoying fudgsicles with a base of bananas, maybe some berries (i like blueberries) milk, and cocoa powder. still a great consistancy, and delicious. Also, I've heard, but still haven't tried, that you can sub out milk for a half an avacado per banana. I think it would just make it creamier.
